° Episode 29 °
Dami munched her apples with eyes was focused on the TV in front of her.
Chelsea kept staring at her without blinking, while Ryan watched the both of the silently.
What? Is there something on my face?, Dami asked without looking away from the TV.
I wasn’t staring at you, Chelsea muttered.
I never said you were, Dami said. Chelsea scoffed.
Fine you caught me. Can’t you just tell us, what’s wrong with you?, Who made you angry?, Chelsea asked.
Who told you I am angry, Dami scoffed.
Of course any one can tell, Chelsea said. Dami rolled her eyes.
Are you seriously passing a night here?, Ryan asked.
Yeah so?, Dami scoffed.
But that’s isn’t right, we can be…….
Chelsea paused due to Dami’s glare.
Where is your phone, I want to order for something?, Chelsea said.
Ryan rolled his eyes.
Upstairs, Dami mumbled. Chelsea grinned and ran upstairs.
About a minute after she left, Dami remembered something and spranged up immediately.
Is something wrong?, Ryan asked. Dami ignored him and ran to the room immediately.
Dami?, Chelsea called as she entered the room.
Don’t switch on that phone, she said panting.
Chelsea was about to say something when the phone started ringing immediately.
f-__-k!!!!
Chelsea looked at the phone and then at Dami.
It’s Happy, she said and stretched the phone to her.
Dami stared at the phone blankly.
Then the call ended.
What the f-__-k do you think you are doing?, Are you avoiding her calls, Chelsea asked. Dami rolled her eyes.
But you know you can put us in trouble right? What if the media comes here. Do you want to see your family in the internet?? And what if they think we kidnapped you!!, Chelsea ranted.
I am not a kid, why would I implicate you. Dami snapped.
Of course I know……….
The phone rang again making cutting Chelsea off.
It was still Happy.
You should pick the call and tell her you are okay, Chelsea whispered. Dami scoffed.
And also she sent a lot of messages too, Chelsea said. Dami collected the phone.
She read the messages and sighed. Then she grabbed her jacket and bag and left the room.
Chelsea tagged along.
Where are you going to?, Ryan asked Dami as made her way to the door.
Dami turned around and scoffed.
You wanted me out anyway, I am leaving, she said.
By this time?, Chelsea asked.
Yeah don’t worry about me, Dami said and opened the door.
Wait Dami y…….
Dami stepped outside and slammed the door before Ryan could finish his statement.
I will go after her, Chelsea said and rushed out of the house too.
••
Dami noticed Chelsea was following her and stopped.
It’s really late. You shouldn’t go out alone, Chelsea told Dami.
I will be fine I already shared my location with Happy, she will be here soon, Dami said waving her phone.
Don’t follow me again go back, Dami added. Then she continued moving but Chelsea still followed her.
What the hell are you doing?, She frowned.
It’s not as if I want to follow you, I just want to make sure you are not hurt, Chelsea snapped.
As in you want to protect me?, Dami scoffed.
What you think I can’t, Chelsea snapped.
How can you protect me with your broken hand. You should focus on treating your hand, Dami scoffed.
What are you talking about, my hand doesn’t hurt at all, Chelsea said.
So it was all a lie?, Dami asked.
Yeah I deceived Ryan, Chelsea replied.
Dami shook her head.
And how am I sure that you won’t go hurt my body for revenge, Chelsea snapped.
Now that you spoke about it, should I?, Dami asked.
Don’t you dare, Chelsea snapped.
Dami moved to the bench that was close to the area and sat down. Chelsea joined her.
To be sincere, Living your life is difficult, Dami said.
I know right, Chelsea chuckled.
From your mum, to your sister, your past and your enemies, Everything is just so frustrating, Dami said.
Yeah it is, Chelsea mumbled.
I guess I was happier being Dami. dreaming of being a makeup artist and working everyday without knowing the truth about my idols or even going into their life. But who knows, things changed in a blink of an eye, Dami said.
For me, I don’t want to go back to my life, I want to live your life. Even if I stay without money, I am happier there. I want to steal your life, Chelsea said. Dami looked at her.
Scary right? People might believe that the rich are mighty and wish to be like them. But who would know they might also wish to be like normal people, Chelsea said. Dami sighed.
Do you think we will really switch again?, Do you think we will live the rest of our life like this?, Dami asked.
Who knows?, Chelsea mumbled.
But then, when we switch back, things will change, Chelsea said and looked at Dami.
Are you sure you want to switch back?, Chelsea asked.
Do I?, Dami mumbled.
In as much as there are lots of battles in Chelsea’s life. She has gotten fond of someone people.
Like Miles, even though he was mean to her, she didn’t understand why she felt like seeing him again.
Happy have been a good friend and she’s become fond of her too, even Rachel. They might be few but she loves their company a lot
After the switch she might never be able to communicate with them like before right?, She thought.
Chelsea also thought of not being with Granny and Ryan again.
They both stared at each other blankly without saying anything.
But then the noise of an approaching car drew them away from their thoughts.
The car stopped in front of them and Happy came out.
How did she come so fast?, Dami thought.
Chelsea are you okay, Happy asked looking worried. Dami stood up and walked to her.
Do I look ill, she asked in return.
I have been trying to…….
Happy paused when she saw Chelsea staring at her. Chelsea smiled and waved her.
That’s a friend, Dami said. Happy turned to Dami.
Well I got to go, Have a nice day, Chelsea said and pat Happy’s shoulder.
Huh!!!
Happy rubbed her shoulder after she left.
What? Are you scared of her?, Dami asked.
No. But when did you start having friends? The last time I checked you had no friends again?, Happy said.
Urhm well she’s a high school friend, Dami lied. Happy stared at her calmly.
Can we go I am cold already, Dami said hugging her self.
Yeah lets go, Happy said.
••
Dami fell on the bed immediately she got to Happy’s room.
You shouldn’t have left home. I told you not to be moved by what Kimberly said, All she does is lie, Happy said.
Of course I wasn’t moved by…… Wait home??, What do you mean?, Dami asked.
Miles house, Happy replied. Dami gasped.
Of course I know you live with Miles, Happy chuckled.
Ace that motherf-__-ker!!, Dami screamed.
I heard it today, I should be mad at you, we were close but you didn’t tell me, Happy said.
I am going to shower, Dami said and stood up from the bed.
Are you trying to run away right now?, Happy scoffed.
Oh that’s the bathroom bye, Dami said and entered the bathroom.
Happy chuckled.
••
Dami wore a robe after showering because she didn’t come with anything extra clothes.
Great for someone who left the house, she mumbled.
Happy was typing some stuffs in her laptop when she came in. She didn’t even notice that she was back in the room.
So she moved closer to her and stared at what she was doing.
Chatting??
Cupid boy?, Dami mumbled. Happy flinched and closed her laptop immediately.
Is that Ace?, Dami asked.
Definitely not?, Happy screamed.
Wait are you two timing?, Dami asked.
Jeez why would you think that, he’s just a fan, Happy replied.
I doubt it, you looked so in love, Dami said.
What are you talking about? What’s the look of love?, Happy asked.
Dami made a dramatic face and Happy laughed loudly, Dami laughed too.
I need a nightie, Dami told her few minutes later. Happy stood up and went to the wardrobe.
And a hair band, I am feeling hot. I want to pack my hair, Dami said.
Check the drawer, Happy said.
Dami opened the door to look for the hair band but the first thing that caught her eyes was a picture.
A picture of a young highschool student.
Is she a relative of Happy?
Jeong Nara was written on the name tag and the uniform…… Moore’s high school????
That sounds familiar. Where did I hear it from??, Dami thought.
Happy suddenly snatched the picture from her forcefully.
You shouldn’t touch anything here, Happy snapped.
Okay what’s with the attitude?
Happy brought out the hair band and gave it to her.
The clothe is on the bed, Happy told her and left the room.
d@mn!!! She must be really mad.
She wore the clothes and packed her hair. Then she went to bed silently.
Maybe, she doesn’t like people touching her things, she thought but………
••
She woke up around 4:25am feeling thirsty.
She sat up and looked around but Happy was no where to be found.
Is she in the living room??, She thought.
Then she left the room and headed to the living room.
But she wasn’t there too.
Maybe she has another room, and is sleeping there, she thought.
She took water from the fridge and drank it in one gulp.
What a life saver!!!
She made to go back to bed but then she had a second thought.
She saw a door few meters away from the dinning and went there.
There was a small hallway and there was one door.
Yeah just as she thought Happy has another room.
But aren’t guests supposed to stay in the guest room??.
She wanted to open the door but then she stopped when she heard someone talking
Are you sure she’s asleep?, She heard someone ask, it was a male.
Yeah I checked her now, Happy replied.
Is Happy with another man?, She thought.
But shouldn’t we tell her the truth, She heard the Happy say.
Not now, I will when Krystal corners, The man said. The name Krystal caught her attention.
I will sort everything out just trust me. Firstly, You must be careful so your identity won’t be leaked. Secondly, and about Kimberly I will take care of her, he said.
She’s Timothy’s princess, he might die if anything happens to her, He continued.
What the hell???
The door to revenge has been opened, he added.
What the hell!!!
She staggered backwards due to the shock but in the process she hit the vase that by the door and it fell down.
f-__-k!!!!
Then she heard footsteps and then the door opened……………
